[Hakata Baba Forest] Princess

08.

After tossing twice in one night, when I returned, the moon had already set and the sun had not yet risen, which was the darkest time.

Different from the previous time, they each rode a horse and walked in the dark without haste. Lin followed slightly behind, looking at the back of the racecourse with the knife on his back.

He wanted to say something, and there were many things he didn't understand, but he didn't know how to speak, so he looked at the back and rolled the words back and forth in his heart.He had known that Machang was tall, and his shoulders seemed to be wider when viewed from behind.After a whole night of commotion, Ma Chang's back was still straight, and he didn't show signs of fatigue at all. He just lowered his head slightly, thinking about something.

What is Machang thinking at the moment.Obviously he followed all the way, but Lin didn't notice it at all.Lin couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't met the wolves, would the horse farm still show up? If he really got out of the grassland smoothly, wouldn't he show up?

Maybe he really wanted to let him go, but after he left?

Unknowingly, he looked at that figure all the way until he dismounted from the horse at the racecourse and turned to look at him. His eyes met. Lin hurriedly lowered his eyes as if he had woken up.

Seeing that he was still sitting on the horse's back, with a flushed face and lowered his head, grabbing the reins, the horse farm had no choice but to go over and lead him.A person who gallops his horse so freely on the grassland naturally doesn't need others to hug and dismount, but the racecourse still reaches out to Lin again.It was only then that Lin realized that they had returned, they were back here again, and he handed over to the racecourse again.

That hand was hot, and Baba frowned when he held it.As soon as Lin put his legs back, he was hugged by the racecourse holding his buttocks. He wanted to say that he could come down by himself, but he was already held in his arms involuntarily.The racecourse carried him off the horse but still did not put him down, and walked towards the cashier, saying, don't you know you are sick?

Yeah?Lin Yi was taken aback, he supported the horse farm's shoulder with one hand, and touched his forehead with the other hand, it seemed to be a little hot, no wonder the wind was even cooler when he came back all the way before.But compared to this, it is more humiliating to be held in the arms of someone holding a child right now.Even at night, the guards on shift are still there.

Lin struggled, twisting his waist and legs in the man's arms and pushing the horse's face with his hands, afraid that others would pay attention, he whispered, I'll go by myself, let me go—

Before he could finish speaking, Machang shook his hand, and Lin, who was shaking, quickly grabbed the clothes on Machang's shoulders again.Machang's hands were not gentle at all, but his words softened by two points, as if helpless, he said, let you rest for a night before leaving, and he didn't listen.

Of course, the racecourse has lost its temper. To a fake princess whose origin is unknown and who can't kill him and wants to escape, but this person is a little bit more obedient and sick again—maybe it's because of illness that he becomes obedient—— The racecourse couldn't lose his temper with him again.

Lin didn't make any more money when he was bumped.He should have been sick. Since he woke up today, he has run away one after another, was frightened, almost fell off his horse and was surrounded by wolves. He was hungry and blew the cold wind all night. He also experienced such an intense love affair the night before.The racecourse didn't mean anything, but Lin felt ashamed for no reason after hearing what he said.So he quietly leaned on his shoulders and stopped making noise, appearing more obedient.

The racecourse ordered the attendants to prepare medicines to dispel the cold, food and hot water, carried Lin in and carried him inside, and only let him down in the inner room.He pointed to the bed and said, go to the bed by himself.So he left him alone.

Lin frowned and looked at the bed, and then at the curtain where the racecourse disappeared, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Ma Chang did a lot of cruel things to him on this bed last night. After hearing what he said, Lin was not sure if he meant to do something later.

The tent is very warm, and the plush carpet is soft underfoot.There was no wind, and the light from the oil lamps scattered straight down without flickering. It was so bright, which was very different from the grassland outside the tent.

Now that he had come back with the racecourse, Lin took off his cloak and dagger and put them aside, not wanting to kill him anymore.But he didn't want to go to that bed at all, so he stood with his hands down, waiting for the horse farm to come back.

I went to the horse farm, and when I came back, I met the attendants who delivered the medicine and meals, so I took them and went in alone.As soon as he came in, he saw Lin standing there, embarrassed, with a sick flush on his face, looking at him.

Ma Chang's upper body was bare, and only a piece of underwear was casually draped over his shoulders. Water dripped from his bulging muscles, and his wet forehead hair was all brushed up.There was steaming meat and soup on the plate in his hand, he smiled when he saw Lin like that, waved his empty hand, and said, go to bed and lie down, you are sick.

Lin pursed his lips, climbed up, and the racecourse also came over, put the pan on the bed, and sat up cross-legged.Seeing this, Lin moved in again, the bed was big enough anyway.Ma Chang laughed out loud, he waved his hands, like teasing a little lamb, come on, I won't eat you again.

Lin pouted, thinking of that sentence again, his mouth is really deceiving.But the aroma of the soup was too enticing, so he moved closer, and the racecourse handed him a piece of cake, which was exactly the kind of cake that Lin ate so hard that his teeth cracked earlier.

Seeing Lin frowning, Ma Chang smiled and broke off a small piece, dipped it in the soup and handed it to his mouth, saying, he wants to eat like this.

Lin took a bite from the hand of the horse farm, and his eyes lit up.This is a taste he has never tasted in the palace before, and the world here is also what he never imagined in the first half of his life.He swallowed the hot noodle soup that was fed to his mouth, and muttered to himself, it was delicious.

After eating hot soup and hot dishes, the spirit is finally completely relaxed, and people feel tired and can talk well.Ma Chang asked, how old are you?

seventeen.Lin held the bowl to drink the soup, and replied obediently.

In the grasslands, a boy of fifteen or sixteen can start a family and kill enemies. Machang originally thought that he was also the age when a girl could just marry.He stretched out his hand to rub Lin's hair, and said yes, it looked really small.

This time Lin didn't block his hand, but he still looked up from the bowl and stared at the racecourse unhappily, saying that the people here are too tall.

Ma Chang laughed, and asked again, I don't know your name yet, should your surname be Lin?

Lin Obedient was stunned, hiding his face behind the bowl and said nothing, but the racecourse didn't need him to answer, and then said, is the brother of Princess Mei who was supposed to marry?

Lin quickly went through what happened in the past few days in his mind. Whether it was speculation or deliberately inquiring about it, anyway, the racecourse already knew it. Then the reason why the racecourse didn't kill him and never let him go, which he couldn't figure out, was probably because In order to get back my sister, the real princess.

Thinking about this forest is the real fear, more fear than when facing death.He put down the bowl, with an expressionless face, and said that she had already fled the night before leaving the palace.I don't know where she fled to. We discussed it before. For her safety in the future, I didn't tell me the escape route. Even if you killed me, I wouldn't be able to tell.What's more, it has been so many days since I left the palace, she must have gone far away to a place where you can't find her.

This is about the longest thing Lin has said to the racecourse these days.Machang paused, and said, I'm not looking for her, I'm just asking you to confirm your name.cat plum?

Lin seemed to be a little beast with shaggy hair and just waiting to open its teeth and claws to meet the enemy. He was a little dazed when he was obedient, and then nodded.Ma Chang smiled and said, I don't think the one who came with you and the relatives didn't know about it at all, you and your sister look very similar, right?

He also said, you protected her, very brave.

Lin was touched on the head by that big hand again, he was dazed, maybe even dizzy with fever.He first repeated to confirm, you really don't want Qiaomei to come back?

After getting a confirmed answer, Lin blinked and finally asked the question that had been rolling in his mind all night.He asked him, are you really going to let me go today?

Machang nodded with a helpless smile and asked, why, do you want to do it again?I gave you a chance, and I won't let you go again.

Why give me a chance?

Ma Chang opened his eyes, ate the meat on the plate, and said, I'm afraid you won't think about it.

But what if you can't think about it?He pretends to be a princess of unknown origin.Hiding in the racecourse, Lin leaned closer. He couldn't say what he was thinking, he could only stare at the racecourse, and asked anxiously, if I really escaped, how would you explain to them?That emperor, and... your people?

Machang shrugged his shoulders, as if he didn't care much, and said with a smile, saying that you are sick, and you will be mourned in a few months. If you dare to call me, I will call you.As for our people, let's just have fun and celebrate it as a festival.

Lin Tengwen frowned even more. He thought of the maids and personal guards from last night. They were very kind to him, the "Princess".

What's more, war is never such an understatement.

Lin didn't speak, neither did Machang, they quietly tore up the meat and ate it.Eating in bed was not at all something a serious leader would do, probably he really wasn't such a serious leader.

Lin still frowned, and asked softly, you did this... just to set me free?

How could there be such a good thing in the world, even if it did, Lin didn't believe that he would encounter it at all.

Those eyes finally looked at himself, Lin looked at the racecourse, for a moment, paused, or turned to the exit, and asked him, do you like me that much?
